Hi Guys! I am Alicia Foster from New York. I love cooking especially baking, but my skills still “needs improvement” according to my Mom . I’m really glad to be a member of this forum, and learn from expert cooks and bakers here…So excited!

Greetings All,
I’m John—been lurking for a while, signed up a month ago, this is my first post to this board.

About me—semi-retired mechanical engineer. Jobs are REALLY, REALLY hard to find.
Fortunately I have a wife who takes good care of me.
Now, I have lots of time on my hands, and have been venturing into cooking, much of it is baking.
Not an expert, but I think I’m learning pretty well.

I look forward to mingling with the active posters on the board.
I get the impression there are many top-notch bakers out there.
If you folks don’t mind answering me some sincere questions, I’d appreciate it.

My username is Tunaoue; It’s a play on Tuna (I’m a fisherman) and Tanouye/Tanoue - my mother’s familiy name from Japan.
Mom was a Korean war bride when my father was in the Army back in 1951 to 1956.

I’m the result of a Japanese farmer’s daughter who excels in the tea ceremony, and a Rancher from Wyoming, yep - a cowboy.
Now I’m a retired engineer taking up cooking as a hobby. What are we in for?

HI, I am so happy to have found this forum as I am launching a holiday dessert business. I have lots of questions! My question for today is about storage for a coconut cake with 7 minute frosting. Is the best I can do simply a cake box since the icing is too fragile to wrap in plastic wrap?
